If it was a hub, the ABS light would be on as well.

The trac light comes on when the wheel spins, but if its not spinning I prob. would think its a sensor relay. My ABS lights are always on cause of a stupid sensor, but thats a bonus cause GOD DO I HATE ABS, takes 10 times longer to stop, and for some reason I can steer with no abs....lol...

yeah mine comes on after i pull off and then it starts shifting funny then ding ding ding there goes the anti lock, and all them other lights flashing. So what i do is press the trac off button but 25% of the time the lights still would come on

i also noticed it doing that when i changed the trans fitler and refilled it...dunno why it did it then.. but after about an hour of driving it around.... it "relearned" the shift points and was fine..... thats what my mechanic thought it did

My ABS, trac off, and SVS lights all came on about a week ago when it was snowing and were out when I left from work and haven't come back on since.
Should I still have the bearings checked???
TIA

Who knows, mine came on as a fluke when it got all cold one day. Hasn't happened since. By the way, it was on Friday the 13th, nonetheless. o_O

Yeah, mine did the same thing 2 days ago, driving normally at constant speed, all 3 lights came on and I thought "effing hubs", but when I started the car again later that day, they didn't show.
After I started trying to hear a noise coming from the wheels, but nothing. I was wondering if it was really a sign of the hub goin out, or maybe it was just a bad hole in the street that caused them to light.

if its shifting hard too, u might be throwing a code for gear position sensor(think thats what its callled). that happened on mine, just went up and had them delete the code. then it worked fine but i still replaced the sensor b4 it happened again.
